Devotional: December 28th

"Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice" (Philippians 4:4).

"Sing a little song of trust,

O my heart!

Sing it just because you must,

As leaves start;

As flowers push their way through dust;

Sing, my heart, because you must.

"Wait not for an eager throng

Bird on bird;

’tis the solitary song

That is heard.

Every voice at dawn will start,

Be a nightingale, my heart!

"Sing across the winter snow,

Pierce the cloud;

Sing when mists are drooping low

Clear and loud;

But sing sweetest in the dark;

He who slumbers not will hark."

"An’’ when He hears yo’’ sing, He bends down wid a smile on His kin’’ face an’’ listens mighty keerful, an’’ He says, ’sing on, chile, I hears, an’’ I’s comin’’ down to deliber yo’’: I’ll tote dat load fer yo’; jest lean hawd on Me and de road will get smoother bime by."’
